Giving feedback

It is not about how the person is, but how it does make us feel and how affects the company

  • Feedback must be a team culture
  • Structure your feedback: strengths, improvement areas, strengths
  • Talk about real facts, determinated actions, instead on judgements and reproaches.
  • Do not use adverbs that imply objective judgement, such always, never, late, etc
  • Talk slowly and with a normal tone
  • Comment the current situation, define an action and propose an expected result
  • We have to present them facts and ask why is that happening
  • Avoid discussions that get nowhere
  • Ensure all treated points are clear
  • Comment agreed conclusions at the end of the session
  • How do you like to receive feedback?
  • Radical candor: direct feedback
